More colleges are disciplining students for off campus behavior problems

<p>It sounds like a good idea only because it might keep students from engaging in dangerous behavior but it isn’t because students do dangerous things on campus frequently so there is little reason to believe such policing will be effective off campus. Further, just because a person is a student at a particular school does not make that student the college’s child. While schools have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their student body, if the event in question is off campus and not affiliated with the college then the people involved have to assume responsibility for the consequences of their actions, not the school.</p>
